New from Louise Erdrich - Shadow Tag

Shadow Tag

New!  Order your signed copy today!
In brilliantly controlled prose, Shadow Tag fearlessly explores the complex nature of love, the fluid boundaries of identity, and one family's struggle for survival and redemption.

"A small masterpiece of compelling, painfully moving fiction."
                                                               ~Kirkus Reviews

Anton Treuer - Ojibwe in Minnesota

Thursday, March 11 @ 7pm
Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church
With Pipestone Singers Drum performing.

Ojibwe in Minnesota by Antron TreuerPlease note: Change of Venue! Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church, 2020 West Lake of the Isles Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55405. (2 blocks East of Birchbark Books, on the lake).
With insight and candor, noted Ojibwe scholar Anton Treuer traces thousands of years of the complicated history of the Ojibwe people—their economy, culture, and clan system and how these have changed throughout time, perhaps most dramatically with the arrival of Europeans into Minnesota territory. Ojibwe in Minnesota covers the fur trade, the Iroquois Wars, and Ojibwe-Dakota relations; the treaty process and creation of reservations; and the systematic push for assimilation as seen in missionary activity, government policy, and boarding schools. Join us as we welcome Anton to Birchbark Books to celebrate this new and important work! With a performance by Pipestone Singers Drum. Ojibwe in Minnesota is available from our Online Shop.
